I have a strange favorite pastime. I love to read the obituaries. Not to see who has died, but I am always curious how family & friends word the death notices of loved ones. For example, one of the most popular death notices is probably “Jane Doe passed away 01/01/90”. But, every now and then, I run across one that is hysterical (and sometimes just downright unbelievable).
Here are a few of my favorites:
· Jane Doe completed her long journey to be with Savior….
· John Doe was summoned to appear before his Judge….
· Jane Doe died after all her breath leaked out….(I had to read this one again to make sure I read it correctly.)
· Jane Doe departed Dallas to be with her Lord….(Yes, Dallas!)
· John Doe died peacefully from a brain aneurysm ….(This does not sound like a “peaceful” way to go – but, maybe I am wrong!)
· Jane Doe changed her address…(I wonder, will the post office forward her mail?)
· John Doe expired….(I’ve always wondered if there was a “sell by date” stamped somewhere on our earthly bodies.)
· Jane Doe passed away quietly….(What a relief to know they were not kicking and screaming anyone just before dying.)
· John Doe sailed his final voyage to Heaven….
· Jane Doe departed this stage of existence…

So, now I am curious, have you read a death notice that made you laugh a little (okay, alot)? If so, please let me know so I can add it to my list!

Hi Nancy, thanks for peeking in at my blog. I'm sure you've never heard of Spike Milligan - a British comedian from years ago (Good Show etc). His grave stone had to be written in Gaelic before the local council would let him have it..."Duirt me leat go raibh me breoite", translated into English is "I told you I was ill". Cracks me up every time I read it.
